History

Ville-Émard was originally part of the concession of Côte Saint-Paul, granted by the Sulpician Order, seigneurs of the Island of Montreal, in 1662. The concession included modern-day Ville-Émard, Côte-Saint-Paul, and the Turcot Yards, and was used for agriculture. The Lachine Canal bisected the area in 1825 and disrupted agricultural activities.
